By AFPMore by this AuthorLOS ANGELESKevin Durant took it to his former team on Wednesday, erupting for 40 points to propel the Golden State Warriors to a 121-100 NBA triumph over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Durant, who scored 39 points in the Warriors 26-point win over the Thunder in November, was brutally efficient, connecting on 13 of his 16 shots from the field, including five of seven from three-point range. He had 12 rebounds, four assists and three blocks to help the Warriors withstand Thunder guard Russell Westbrook's 21st triple-double of the season. "The ball just found whoever was open," Durant said, "and we did a good job of making the shots." But Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he wasn't surprised the match-up brought out the best in Durant.
